I think is working fine so far with the config option pointed by @akcoder (in 3 different CPE), but I will try your approach because if it works I believe is better than messing with global parameters.

Thank you both of you.

PD. I can’t make it work with your suggestion or I’m maybe putting it in the wrong place. I’ve set that like this:

> let values = {  
> X\_HW\_SERVICELIST: “VOIP”,  
> X\_HW\_VLAN: 52,  
> X\_HW\_PRI: 5  
> };
> 
> let basePath = “InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.2.WANIPConnection”;  
> const path = basePath + ‘.[’ + Object.keys(values).map(key =\> key + ‘:’ + values[key]).join(‘,’) + ‘]’;  
> declare(path, {path: 1, writable: 1}, {path: 1});
